Author's Notes

Yields 9 servings.

The recipe calls for 16 ounces of dried pasta, but Gluten-Free pasta is generally sold in 12-ounce boxes. Therefore, use one 12 oz box, plus about 1 1/3 cup additional dried penne to equal 16 oz.

The most important tip is adjusting the boiling time. GF pasta has a tendency to become mushy or break apart. Therefore, when initially boiling only cook for half the time called for al dente.

This recipe may also be assembled up to 24 hours ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake. For best results, set out at room temperature for 1 hour before baking.
